have everyone but some tanks and heals wait down near graveyard and kite him down there over the edge of cliff (kill adds first before pull). makes corpse running back to your body much faster. other than that, same basic strategy, stay spread and don't stand in front of him. killed him with 4 raid groups today.

We downed him this morning on rexxar, 4 full groups and a partial 5th. Wasnt a relm first as the horde had already done it however. Similar to Andrewg, we had a few tanks, healers and range pull him down the cliff.. trying to get him to the beach after adds got cleaned up. However with that many people some didnt stick with the plan and started dpsing befor getting the boss into his spot, he was about halfway between cliff and the beach. He seamed to always turn as his blast went off taking out 100 of us a blow. but managed to down him in time. I got 2 rolls of gold.. just my luck.

2. Tank 1 positions boss to face AWAY from the raid. While Oondasta is NOT TAUNTABLE, whichever tank has the Alpha Male buff has control of where the boss is facing, including NPC tanking pets. Oondasta should be placed with ample room around his hind side to allow all melee and ranged space to spread out.

3. Non-tanks, melee, and ranged must be behind the boss spread out 10 yards apart to avoid Spiritfire Beam. This chain-lightning on crack will destroy you swiftly.

4. All members must stop casting when they see the boss casting Piercing Roar, otherwise they will be silenced.

5. Anything within the boss' frontal 90 degree cone can and will be hit with Frill Blast. This includes anyone and anything directly to the boss' sides. Stay behind the boss at all times.

7. Tank 2 continues attacking and ramps up all threat possible to gain Alpha Male. Tank 2 now has control of where Oondasta faces.

8. Tank 2 will eventually get the Crush debuff and must enact step 5, swapping the boss back to Tank 1.

Rinse and repeat.

Guide to an ungodly enormous Repair Bill:

1. Kite Oondasta down to the graveyard and keep him placed directly on top it. This will ensure that all people resurrecting to continue the fight will be obliterated immediately upon being struck with either Spiritfire Beam or Frill Blast. The closer Oondasta is to the side of the cliff on top of the graveyard while facing the ocean, the better, as this will prevent the entire raid from staying behind the boss when he casts Frill Blast unless they want to group up and get hit with Spiritfire Beam.

2. All dps should be using tanking pets which will face and position the boss randomly, because now that the healers are deceased the tanks are deceased. This ensures that the raid will be hit with Spiritfire Beam and Frill Blast. By now, all healers and most ranged classes should be deceased and attempting to resurrect in the graveyard.

3. Any non-tank member must immediately spam or /yell for the tanks to taunt and face the boss correctly. Assign this role to any raid member that does not yet have this achievement. If all members somehow do already have the achievement, assign this role to the angriest most annoying member in the group.

4. After resurrecting multiple times and being stuck on a resurrection timer, /cry like a baby.

5. Drag the boss into the ocean to get him to despawn, and leave the raid party because you are an idiot.

as of patch 5.3, there is now a path from the beach up the cliff to where oondasta is, eliminating the need to run all the way around the island to get up there. plus the graveyard is also up at the top as well, eliminating the need to kite him down to the beach......finally!
